IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety is a combination of using common

sense, staying alert, and knowing how

your Wet/Dry vacuum cleaner (“Vac”)

works.

Safety Signal Words

DANGER: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will result

in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

result in minor or moderate injury.

When using your Vac, always follow basic

safety precautions including the following:

WARNING

- To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury:

• Read and understand this manual and

all labels on the Vac before operating.

• Use only as described in this manual.

• Do not leave Vac running while

unattended - you may fail to notice

important signs indicating abnormal

operation such as loss of suction,

debris/liquid exiting exhaust, or

abnormal motor noises. Immediately

stop using Vac if you notice these

signs.

• Do not leave Vac when plugged in.

Unplug from outlet when not in use

and before servicing.

!

• Sparks inside the motor can ignite

flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the

risk of fire or explosion, do not use near

combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such

as gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid,

cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas,

coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust,

aluminum dust, or gun powder.

• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or

smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or

hot ashes.

• To avoid the risk of self-ignition of drum

debris, empty drum after each use.

Combustible materials, such as rags or

sawdust containing stain or urethane,

can be sources of such overheating.

• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold

fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with

standard filter. These may pass through

the filter and be exhausted back into the

air. Use a fine dust filter instead.

• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors,

do not vacuum or use near toxic or

hazardous materials.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not expose to rain or allow liquid to

enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy.

Close attention is necessary when

used by or near children.

• Do not use with a torn filter or without

filter installed except when vacuuming

liquids as described in this manual.

Dry debris ingested by the impeller may

damage the motor or be exhausted into

the air.

SAVE THIS MANUAL

• To reduce the risk of personal injury or

damage to Vac, use only WORKSHOP

recommended accessories.

•

When using as a blower:

- Direct air discharge only at work area.

- Do not direct air at bystanders.

- Keep children away when blowing.

- Do not use blower for any job except

blowing dirt and debris.

- Do not use as a sprayer.

• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear

safety eyewear. The operation of any

utility Vac or blower can result in foreign

objects being blown into the eyes, which

can result in severe eye damage.

• To reduce the risk of being struck by, or

pulled down by, a rolling Vac, block the

casters when using on any uneven or

sloped surface.

• Turn off Vac before unplugging.

•

This Wet/Dry Vac is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory, or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use

of the appliance by a person responsible

for their safety.

• To reduce the risk of injury from

accidental starting, unplug power cord

before changing or cleaning filter.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not use with damaged cord, plug or

other parts. If your Vac is not working

as it should, has missing parts, has been

dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or

dropped into water, call customer service.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as

handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord

around sharp edges or corners. Do not

run Vac over cord. Keep cord away from

heated surfaces.

• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac

with wet hands.

• Use only extension cords that are rated

for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor

condition or too small in wire size can

pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce

the risk of these hazards, be sure the

cord is in good condition and that liquid

does not contact the connection. Do not

use an extension cord with conductors

smaller than 1,3 mm

2

(16 AWG).

• This Vac is double-insulated, eliminating

the need for a separate grounding

system. Use only identical replacement

parts. Read the instructions for Servicing

Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vacs.

• Do not put any object into ventilation

openings. Do not vacuum with any

ventilation openings blocked; keep free of

dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce

air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all

parts of body away from openings and

moving parts.

• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care

when cleaning on stairs.

• To reduce the risk of back injury or falls,

do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid

or debris. Partially empty by scooping

debris or draining liquid.

CAUTION:

• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,

wear ear protectors when using for

extended time or in a noisy area.

• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.

• Static shocks are common when the

relative humidity of the air is low.

Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac

can deposit static charge on the hose

or Vac. To reduce the frequency of

static shocks in your home or when

using this Vac, add moisture to the air

with a humidifier.

!

Observe the following warnings that

appear on the motor housing of your Vac:

DOUBLE INSULATED

GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY

IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electric shock - do not expose to

rain - store indoors.

!

WARNING:

• For your own safety, read and

understand owner's manual.

• Do not run unattended.

• Do not pick up hot ashes, coals,

toxic, flammable or other

hazardous materials.

• Do not use around explosive

liquids or vapors.

open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done

outdoors and not in the living quarters.

1. Light cleaning of some dry debris from

the Filter can be accomplished without

removing the Filter from the Vac.

Simply slap your hand on top of the

Handle while the Vac is turned off.

2. Remove Filter from Vac. Gently tap

the Filter against the inside wall of

your Dust Drum and the debris will

loosen and fall.

3. For thorough cleaning of a dry Filter

with fine dust (no debris) you may run

water through it as described under

“Cleaning A Wet Filter” Section.

Cleaning a Wet Filter

After Filter is removed, run water through

the Filter from a Hose or Spigot. Take care

that water pressure from the Hose is not

strong enough to damage Filter.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the

Filter for tears or small holes. Do not use

a Filter with holes or tears in it. Even a

small hole can allow dust to come out of

your Vac. Replace it immediately.

Allow the Filter to dry before reinstalling

and storing the Vac or picking up dry

debris.

Cleaning and Disinfecting the

Wet/Dry Vac

To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its

best, clean the outside with a cloth

dampened with warm water and mild

soap.

To clean the Drum:

1. Dump debris out.

2. Wash Drum thoroughly with warm

water and mild soap.

3. Wipe out with dry cloth.

Before prolonged storage or as needed

(i.e.; waste water pick up) the drum

should be disinfected.

To disinfect the Drum:

1. Pour 1 gallon (4 L) of water and

1 teaspoon (5 mL) chlorine bleach into

the Drum.

2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,

carefully swishing every few minutes,

making sure to wet all inside surfaces

of the Drum.

3. Empty Drum after 20 minutes. Rinse

with water until bleach smell is gone.

Allow Drum to dry completely before

sealing the Motor on the Drum.

MAINTENANCE (continued)

Cord Maintenance

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the

Cord and wrap it around the Powerhead

Assembly. If the Power Cord is damaged,

it must be replaced by the manufacturer

to reduce the risk of accident.

Storage

Before storing your Vac, the Drum should

be emptied and cleaned. The Cord

should be wrapped around the Unit and

the Hose should be stored as described

in this manual. Accessories should be

kept in the same area as the Vac so they

can be readily available. The Vac should

be stored indoors.

Casters and Wheels

Should your Cart squeak or become hard

to roll, you should place two or three

drops of general purpose oil on each

Wheel at the Axle. If your Casters are

noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the

Roller Shaft to make them quieter.

Frame and Handle

Your Metal Handle is painted to prevent

rust, however, liquids and corrosive

debris should be wiped off with a soft

cloth should they come in contact with

the Handle.

WARNING: To assure product

SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other

maintenance, repairs and adjustments

should be performed by Authorized

Service Centers, always using

WORKSHOP replacement parts.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES

Sección Página

La seguridad es una combinación de sentido común,

permanecer alerta y saber cómo funciona la

aspiradora para mojado/seco (“la aspiradora”).

Palabras de señal de seguridad

PELIGRO: indica una situación peligrosa que,

si no se evita, causará la muerte o lesiones graves.

ADVERTENCIA: indica una situación peligrosa

que, si no se evita, podría causar la muerte o lesiones

graves.

PRECAUCIÓN: indica una situación peligrosa

que, si no se evita, pudiera causar lesiones leves o

moderadas

Cuando utilice la aspiradora, siga siempre las

precauciones básicas de seguridad, incluyendo

las siguientes:

ADVERTENCIA

– Para reducir el riesgo de incendio,

sacudidas eléctricas o lesiones:

• Lea y entienda este manual del usuario y todas las

etiquetas que están colocadas en la aspiradora

para mojado/seco antes de utilizarla.

• Utilice la aspiradora únicamente de la manera que

se describe en este manual.

• No deje la aspiradora en marcha mientras esté

desatendida. Usted podría no notar señales

importantes que indiquen un funcionamiento

anormal, tal como pérdida de succión, residuos o

líquido que salen por el escape o ruidos anormales

del motor. Deje de usar la aspiradora inmedia -

tamente si observa estas señales.

• No abandone la aspiradora cuando esté enchufada.

Desenchúfela del tomacorriente cuando no la esté

utilizando y antes de realizar servicio de revisión.

• Las chispas que se producen en el interior del

motor pueden incendiar los vapores inflamables o

el polvo. Para reducir el riesgo de incendio o explo -

sión: No use la aspiradora cerca de líquidos,gases,

o polvos combustibles como gasolina u otros

combustibles, líquido encen dedor, limpia dores,

pinturas a base de aceite, gas natural, hidrógeno,

polvo de carbón, polvo de magnesio, polvo de

aluminio, polvo de granos de cereal o pólvora.

• No recoja con la aspiradora nada que esté ardiendo

o humeando, como cigarrillos, fósforos

o cenizas calientes.

• Para evitar el riesgo de autoignición de los residuos

contenidos en el tambor, vacíe el tambor después de

cada uso. Los materiales combustibles, tales como

trapos o aserrín que contengan tinte o uretano,

pueden ser causas de dicho sobre calentamiento.

• No recoja con la aspiradora polvo de panel de yeso

ni hollín frío o ceniza fría de chimenea con un filtro

estándar. Estos materiales pueden pasar por el

filtro y ser expulsados de vuelta al aire. Utilice un

filtro para polvo fino en lugar de un filtro estándar.

• Para reducir el riesgo de inhalar vapores tóxicos,

no recoja con la aspiradora materiales tóxicos o

peligrosos ni la use cerca de dichos materiales.

• Para reducir el riesgo de descargas eléctricas, no

exponga la aspiradora a la lluvia ni deje que entren

líquidos en el compartimiento del motor. Guarde la

aspiradora en un lugar interior.

• No permita que la aspiradora se utilice como un

juguete. Se necesita prestar máxima atención

cuando sea utilizada por niños o cerca de éstos.

• No use la aspiradora con un filtro desgarrado o sin

tener el filtro instalado, excepto cuando recoja con

ella líquidos de la manera que se describe en este

manual. Los residuos secos absorbidos por el

impulsor podrían dañar el motor o ser expulsados

de vuelta al aire.

• Apague la aspiradora antes de desenchufarla.

• Esta aspiradora mojado/seco no se destina para

utilizarse por personas (incluyendo niños) cuyas

capacidades físicas, sensoriales o mentales sean

diferentes o estén reducidas, o carezcan de
